It can be avoided with the included HDMI extender adapter, but it's still a mild annoyance. Certainly, that's the case with the Sony A80K that we’re using to test the Fire TV Stick with. It would have been nice to see a slimmed-down design this year, as although the Stick 4K Max can still be easily tucked in a pocket to take on the go, with many TVs it will block the HDMI port next to it. It's still a plastic oblong shape that’s reminiscent of a USB thumb drive, with an HDMI connector sticking out of one end and a micro-USB port on the side for power. From there, you can set actions to your key phrases, never having to leave the sofa again.The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is virtually indistinguishable from its brethren and predecessors. Want to wake up to BBC Breakfast playing as you stroll into the living room? Or CBeebies for the kids when they return home from school? How about setting a sleep timer with your voice? Amazon’s Routine function on the Alexa app is your companion for all things customisable.įind the Routine feature under the ‘More’ section on the Amazon app and press the ‘+’ button to add a new routine to your, erm, routine. This enables second screen controls on your tablet so you can control playback, as well as lets you access X-Ray functionality for whatever you’re watching. You’ll want to ensure Second Screen Notifications are turned on on your Fire TV first though (Settings > Displays & Sounds > Second Screen Notifications). Just be sure both devices are on the same wi-fi network, and both are signed in to the same Amazon account. Press the Second Screen icon (a screen with an arrow in it) on the Watch button on your tablet, select your Fire TV and you’re away. If you’re watching a movie on your Fire Tablet and want to upgrade it to the big screen, you can send it to your TV in a similar way to using Google’s Cast function.
